It's almost the end of May and for brides on the verge of "I Do", mired in the stress of wedding preparations, eloping to a faraway, romantic place must have crossed their minds--at least once! But for those itinerant brides who would prefer to spend their hard-earned cash on two plane tickets to the Maldives, here are some chic and affordable options. Packability is of utmost importance, considering that you'll either roll it--not fold it--in white tissue paper and lay it amongst your clothes in your suitcase, or, you can purchase a water repellant bridal gown hanging bag, which should garner you the well-wishes of the flight attendants on board who might--just might--let you hang it up front in the little hanging closet in first class. A simple flowing, unstructured gown is your best bet--since you won't have a bevy of bridesmaids to help you get dressed! But there's no need to sacrifice style; shoot for effortlessly undone!
